2012 HCW Biggest Loser Challenge!

[brokenangel]

Thanks, but no. There's nothing anyone can say. I know what I have to do. I'm not doing it. Unless someone wants to come here, and lock up all the food, and dole it out to me in small, healthy portions...watch me every single minute so that eat anything else...and force me to drink water and take a walk every now and then...there's nothing anyone can do.

How far away are you from marion? I couldnt stay forever but I could put locks on your cupboards.

I could sit here and say "you can do it! just focus" but what good would that do you? just like you said you know what you need to do. I haven't been doing well these past 2 weeks but somehow I lost 4 pounds.. hope it isn't a fluke.

Just go back to it and keep trying... dieting is like trying to quit smoking, it took me numerous tries to stop but eventually I did.

hugs to you

I really hope we can all stick together and stay with this for the rest of the year. We have already went from 24 people down to 11 who posted last week and down to 6 this week :(
I am here, not going anywhere, i swore this would be my last attempt at weight loss I am going to stick with it.

I'm with you! I want this to be my last attempt too.

I have 3 things motivating me right now.
1. I'm tired of being fat and determined to lose weight.
2. I would like to get to my long-term goal of 169 (that's what I weighed when I got married) by the time my ds graduates in 2 years.
3. We are planning on a cruise for next March and I would like to be in a much smaller bathing suit.

Motivators certainly do help keep you on track don't they. I have a few that I keep in mind when i get food:
1. Its been 10 years since I have enjoyed summer, always covered up, never wore shorts or cute bathing suits for that matter, NOT HAPPENING THIS YEAR.
2. My health, so many things going on and i want to be in good health.
3. I want to start running.

I'm glad we are sticking together, we can keep everyone motivated that needs it. Im proud of my weight loss this week, but wont be reporting until monday

I am still here.
I weigh myself tomorrow and let you all know how it went.
The week was not so bad, except for yesterday, someone brought girl scout cookies to work - I had three. After reading all the stuff thats in there - I was disgusted with myself. Those cookies are veeery good - BUT first ingredient sugar.
I try to be good to today. We have snow so walking around is out - plus it's my only day off and I have school work to do.

This is a time in my life when I am glad that I can't eat wheat, so many temptations out there in the world today with all the sugary sweet goods.....

It's alot of work to lose the weight. The treadmill here is my biggest tool. It's hard after a long day to walk 3 miles a night but it's worth it. Here's my menu each day-

Greek Yogurt for breakfast or eggs and bacon
Soup and sammy for lunch (no mayo)
Granola bar for snack at break time
Dinner-small portion-no going back for seconds ever
Then another yogurt after my workout or a banana

Those two lbs I gained back are gone. Hope to lose two more when I get on the scale tommorrow then I will put back on those jeans hanging in my closet to see how they fit!

I am here, I may not post much but I am here lurking.

My motivators are
1. My body hurts all the time... Im hoping eating healthier and loosing weight will help.
2. Not having clothes that fit and hating the wy I look in pictures.

I want to be here for my kids and future grandchildren.

Weigh-in was good. I had a 1.8 lb lost this week.
I'm getting excited. All I need to lose next week is 1.2 lb to reach a total of 10 lbs since I started. Little losses sure do add up and make me happy!

I'm still at 230... But I am glad it's not more. The problem is that with this new job, by the time I get home, I don't feel like exercising or cooking a healthy dinner/lunch for the next day. I haven't done zumba in weeks. I don't know how to motivate myself.
